Denmark call up Pione Sisto for first time in two years ahead of England clash
Pione Sisto has earned his first Denmark call-up in two years.
The 25-year-old winger recently returned to former club Midtjylland from Celta Vigo, and has now forced his way into new Denmark boss Kasper Hjulmand’s plans.
Denmark will face England at Wembley on Wednesday, October 14 in the Nations League return clash, following the goalless draw in Copenhagen on September 8.
Philip Billing could make his senior Denmark debut in the three-match window, with the Bournemouth midfielder one of four potential new caps.
